3.6 FIDO 2.0

The FIDO 2.0 method facilitates you to use any FIDO compliant device either in-built with the system or connected through USB to register and authenticate to the web environment. When you try to authenticate, FIDO compliant device and user gesture, such as tap on token and swipe fingerprint on reader are validated.

NOTE:If the FIDO 2.0 method is enrolled using the Windows Hello in Microsoft Edge 17 or earlier supported browser versions then you must authenticate using the same browser. After upgrading to the latest version of Edge that supports the FIDO 2.0 standards, you must re-enroll the FIDO 2.0 method.
